Former Lazio and Napoli boss EdyReja has admitted that he would love to return to coaching soon.

The 67-year-old has taken time out since his departure from the StadioOlimpico in the summer, but has conceded that he is itching to get back to management, as well as praising current Coach of the Partenopei Walter Mazzarri.

“After five years at Napoli and three years in Rome, I needed to take some time out,” he told Radio Marte. “I ate a lot and lived without any pressure – but now I am ready to return.

“Mazzarri is a great professional who thinks about football all the time.

“It is too early to talk about their objectives for the season – the championship is decided in May.”
